Only those who are eligible will be registered.
Occurs on the first day of registration for the upcoming Work Term semester.
Those who register after the last day to add courses for a semester must use a Course Change Form with sign off from the Co-op Office and the Associate Dean of Engineering. Co-op Office will initiates all necessary signatures.

7. Work Terms - Registration
Work Terms 1 to 6 (following Academic Term 3):
WT1: Completion of ENGI 200W Professional Development Seminars.

8. Work Terms - Registration
Verify registration and financial account information online through Memorial Self-Service.
Ensure fees are paid within deadlines.

Dropping Work Terms – Automatic
If you are registered for a Work Term but are not placed by the course add/100% refund deadline (2 weeks after first day of classes for the semester), your WT registration will be dropped automatically.
Work Terms registration drops are processed by the Registrar’s Office based upon the records submitted by the Co-op Office.
If you are not placed by this time but you wish to continue to pursue a possible placement, ensure the Co-op Office is aware of your plans before that date!

10. Work Terms - Registration
Late registration (re-registration) will be permitted with the approval of the Co-op Office and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies. This will be subject to pre-approval as noted above.
Other considerations: Be aware of the academic and financial implications if you register for academic courses in a semester when you might possibly have a late work term placement. Consult with the Registrar’s Office representative first.

11. Work Terms - Evaluation
Students are expected to complete all aspects of each work term.
Grade is awarded for each of two components:
Work Term performance (employer/Co-op evaluation).
Communications.
Component Grades: ‘Outstanding’, ‘Above Expectations’, ‘Satisfactory’, ‘Marginal Pass’, or ‘Fail’
Overall Grade (on transcript): ‘Pass With Distinction’, ‘Pass’, or ‘Fail’

12. Work Terms - Evaluation
Failure on either the ‘performance’ or ‘communications’ component results in overall grade of ‘Fail’ for the Work Term.
Failed work terms must be repeated.
A ‘Fail’ for the performance component may result from:
Termination by employer
Quitting a work term position
Failing to honour work term placement or work commitment
Failing to submit required documentation
Message: Talk to the Co-op Office about any concerns, issues, or actions you are considering before you act!

13. Work Term Placements
Placements are coordinated by the Faculty of Engineering Co-Operative Education Office.
The placement and opt out processes are guided by the Engineering Co-Op Handbook.
Only registered students are allowed to continue in the job competition beyond the automatic registration date.
Students who do not intend to seek a work term: Opt-out as prescribed by the Co-op Office (normally one week after the start of classes in the preceding academic semester).
Opt-out later?: Complete Opt-out form and speak with a Co-ordinator.

14. Work Term Placements
Individuals who are not registered, and thus restricted from the MyMUNLife job competition, may pursue a work term independently and accept an offer only under the following conditions:

If an Opt-out was previously approved for the semester, it has been reversed/cleared with the Co-op Office.
Registration pre-requisites as outlined earlier have been met.
Work Term registration is complete. Only registered students may accept and begin a work term with an employer.

15. Work Term Placements
See the University Calendar and Engineering Co-op Handbook for further details.
